The best way to train her is to not leave her outside. You will need to be with her all the time to watch when she goes and praise and reward her for going. When you let her out of her crate, take her out to go... when she does reward her. If she does not then she goes back into the kennel for a few minutes and back outside again. It is best to take her out every 30-60 minutes Until she gets the hang of it

The first thing you need to stop doing is any yelling, thrashing or negative behavior. This will create a negative association with going outside to go to the bathroom and this will be counter productive and a bad experience for you both. Instead train with a potty cue word. Go to the same place every time. Reward her immediately for any behavior in the right direction.

Choose one area for her to urinate or defecate outdoors. Take her to the spot before going for a walk and wait. You use a puppy training spray in the area to encourage interest and elimination. These products may be purchased online (www.petco.com) or at your local Petco. Praise and reward her each time she urinates or defecates in the designated area. You can then go for a walk afterwards. Be patient as you may need to stand in the one spot until she goes.

The first suggestion I’d give you is to have her evaluated by a vet to ensure that there are no medical issues that could be contributing to her difficulties with potty training. It sounds like you’ve tried all the “go-to” suggestions that I would typically give... crates, frequent walks, etc. It concerns me that you said she will just hold it and cry... is she peeing inside without troubles and just cries when she’s outside? After her health is cleared, you may want to consult a behaviorist or trainer. This is often very worthwhile investment for ongoing behavioral issues. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
